HSLDA 2009 Essay Contest

October is the month for HSLDA's annual essay contest. Essays can ONLY be submitted from October 1 through November 1. If the entry is postmarked after November 1, they will not be accepted. This only gives you about three more weeks, but I thought some of you might want to enter. Remember, you can't win unless you try! (And you do not have to be an HSLDA member to enter.)

Here are the categories for this year's contest:

Category 1 (ages 7-10): The Bible talks about God knowing all our days and all the days of time. Why do you think you were born now instead of in another generation?

Category 2 (age 11-14):If you were charged with the task of investing $100,000 how would you invest it and why? Part of the requirement is you cannot give it away or spend it on yourself.

Category 3 (ages 15-19):How does the news media (TV news, newspapers, news websites or blogs) affect your perception of America? Be sure you talk about coverage of both good and bad news.
